09.12.2013 Further investment at Dinnissen test plant

Dinnissen Process Technology, Sevenum, the Netherlands, has extended the capabilities of its D-Innocenter in-house test plant. This month, the company is celebrating the installation of its eighth test module, the five-in-one Pegasus® mixer. As all the test modules can be combined and interlinked, the latest addition provides a significant expansion to the already extensive range of testing options.

At the D-Innocenter it was already possible for companies to work with the Pegasus mixer test module to determine precisely the optimum mixing time and homogeneity for a wide range of products. The new 5-in-1 unit now enables companies to carry out a variety of process steps - including mixing, drying and pH reduction - using a single item of equipment, thereby saving cleaning time and energy consumption. 
At the facility a test module is available for safely and efficiently emptying up to 99.9% of the contents of sacks and bulk bags. The Pegasus mixer module makes it possible to test and determine optimum mixing time and homogeneity and minimise product damage. The dosage and weighing module allows clients to measure and register the exact volume and weight of product added. The vacuum coater module even makes it possible to spray a precisely predetermined amount of powder or liquid on a granule and then to ensure that it penetrates deep into the granule. A solid protective layer can also be added around each granule to prevent breakage, crumbling, and loss of valuable ingredients. The most efficient conveying methods can be simulated and tested, including pneumatic transport and/or Slow Flow conveying. Pilot installations are available with hammer mills, crushers and sieves. Finally, trials can be carried out with the packing of products into bulk bags in accordance with international guidelines. Besides the eight test modules available, Dinnissen has also invested in advanced analytical equipment to ensure that the results of every trial carried out can be reliably and precisely recorded. This includes robust sieve installations, moisture content measurement, and equipment for determining wall friction. www.dinnissen.nl
